I mean, what did he think would happen when Amanda Bynes‘ lawyer signed on to represent the actress?

Apparently Artemio Santiago, the lawyer who the troubled star hired last October, is looking to be reimbursed for the thousands of dollars he shelled out for the actress.

According to Perezhilton, the attorney filed documents claiming he helped 28-year-old while she was off of her meds four months ago, getting her back on track and healthy, being her personal assistant and generally being a friend (you know, lawyer stuff).

BUT- you may remember an incident during this time, in which Amanda was supposed to go to court, but stopped by a diner for lunch on the way there? She was reportedly with Santiago. So maybe he’s just being a super sketchy glommer-on?

The lawyer is saying he wants roughly $16k for his services and troubles, but the She’s the Man actress’ parents and conservators have a simple retort: Amanda wasn’t in the right state of mind to even hire a lawyer, and that he should have known that!

That’s probably true, Santiago.

What do you think- should Artemio Santiago be paid for “services rendered?” Or is he just kind of a sketchball (I think you know where I stand on the issue) ?

Now I ain’t saying she a golddigger, but she ain’t messing with no broke vampire!

Friends close to Robert Pattinson reveal that FKA twigs might be in love with Pattinson, but she also might have some designs on his finances. Radar reports:

“He has always lived large and spends money like there is no end, but the truth of the matter is that his fortune is shrinking because he is no longer a franchise star.”

OK! Magazine reported that Pattinson is running low on funds because “his spending habits are the same as when he was earning big bucks, so there’s a real shortfall.”

However, the insider tells Radar that his girlfriend, FKA Twigs, 27, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett may also be to blame.

“Rob is not working right now because he is so focused on her. He insists on paying for everything because that is the kind of guy that Rob is,” the source says.

According to the insider, “FKA is not a dumb girl and she knows how to work men and has even been called a gold-digger by people who know her. Although they both spoil each other, but she has pennies compared to the kind of money he has.”

This makes me sooooo sad if it’s true- Robert Pattinson seems like such a nice dude who struck it big and then got taken advantage of by a couple of not terrible (but not great) women. Of course, hoping it’s a rumor and FKA and Robert can live a happily ever after…?

Fifty Shades author E L James and director Sam Taylor-Johnson had some serious tension on set of the highly anticipated film!

“It was difficult, I’m not going to lie,” Taylor-Johnson, 47, told Porter magazine of working with James. “We definitely fought, but they were creative fights and we would resolve them. We would have proper on-set barneys, and I’m not confrontational, but it was about finding a way between the two of us, satisfying her vision of what she’d written as well as my need to visualize this person on screen, but, you know, we got there.”

Taylor-Johnson felt she knew what the adaptation needed, despite all the conflict…

“I knew how it should be made, needed to be made, and I felt a certain responsibility to make it the right way,” Taylor-Johnson continued of the R-rated S&M film. “I felt it was an incredible story. It’s like a dark twisted fairy tale, very romantic, and it was interesting how troubling it was, and how romance and the darkness interweaved.”

Here’s Paris Hilton and some dude bro friend spotted out for a coffee at Alfred Coffee & Kitchen in West Hollywood on Saturday. Now, rumors are swirling that Paris hooked up with ‘Man Of Steel’ star Henry Cavill and/or may be dating him, but this guy is certainly not Henry Cavill, am I right?

That being said, her teacup dog and dude are pretty cute accessories to have out on a weekend…
